Chip & Dale

http://www.choose-gifts.co.uk/


Chip ‘n Dale are two animated chipmunks created by The Walt Disney Company. Their names are a pun based on the name “Chippendale” . This was suggested by Bill “Tex” Henson, a story artist at the studio. Originally the two had the same colored noses, but as a way to tell them apart, Chip was given a black nose and Dale was given a red nose.








According to Disney, Chip is the logical schemer, and Dale is the dumb schemer. An easy way to visually tell them apart is that Chip has a small black nose (it looks a bit like a chocolate “Chip” as a way to help people remember who is who) and one centered protruding tooth, whereas Dale has a big red nose and his two prominent buck teeth exposed. Chip is also depicted as having smooth, short fur atop his head while Dale’s tends to be ruffled. Chip and Dale are V.I.P. members of the Mickey Mouse Club.
